I LOVEd YOU Since 18
Eps 35 (Hugging & Apologizing)

After Aditya and Cahya died, Elea sat down again and continued to pray for the healing of Danist. He hoped that Danist could soon wake up and get through his critical period. The problems of his children have been handled well, so it is true said Cahya, that at this time he must focus on Danist only. Suddenly Mama Danist called out to him in a soft voice.

Elea looked up and smiled at her father-in-law. Mama Danist holds Elea's fingers and asks that Elea not tell Danist if Gienka had suffered a severe shock about yesterday's events on the grounds that Danist does not think about bad and heavy things. But actually that's not the case, but Mama Danist is afraid that if until Danist hears Brianna's name called it will add to Danist's wounds and burdens later.

The door of the Icu room opened from the inside, a nurse came out from there and called out to Elea. Elea quickly, her father and Mama Danist stood up to the nurse. Elea hopes this is good news not bad news that will make her suffer even more. "Yes, how is my husband?? Is she okay???" Ask Elea quickly.

"The patient is conscious, you can go in and see him but please don't talk to him, because his condition is still weak, let's go ahead" the nurse said.

That instant also the smile on Elea's lips expanded. Elea hugged her mother-in-law and thanked her. "Ma, Danist is conscious....! Thank you God....!"

"Come on El, and look at your husband's condition" said Mama Danist.

Elea then went in following the nurse.

Elea approached the bed where Danist was lying. The eyes of the man blinked slowly looking at the ceiling of this room. Elea took a slow step and her fingers touched the back of Danis' hand, making the man glance at her. Behind the oxygen mask that covered her mouth and nose, Danist tried to smile at Elea, even though the smile was just a thin smile.

"El...!!" Danist muttered in a very slow voice.

"Srstttt.....!!!! Don't say anything, you're still so weak" Elea sat on a chair beside Danist's bed, gently kissing her husband's hand.

"Hurry to heal, and we can go home....!" Elea stood rubbing Danist's forehead with a very sad face.

While Danist tries to gather all her memories of how she got to the hospital as well as how she got like this. The thought of it all made his head ache, but he remembered something.

"A...riel....!" Danist said again which immediately made Elea widen her eyes.

Elea soon realizes that Danist must be remembering yesterday. And that's not good because his head has to go the extra mile to remember. Danist can no longer remember anything about yesterday.

"He's fine, there's not a single wound on his body, you saved him, but you forgot to save yourself, I told you already, don't think about anything, don't make your brain work hard, you just had surgery, shut up, rest and get well soon...!"

Danist again threw her smile at Elea. while Elea was upset, when Danist had just realized, her husband was still calling Ariel. Though it was very clear that Ariel had never cared at all about it, but Danist was still kind to him. And Elea hopes with him to say that Ariel is fine that it can make Danist no longer have to mess around with thinking of people like Ariel who do not know themselves.

Because the doctor only gave her permission for 5 minutes to meet Danist, Elea told Danist to rest so that her condition could improve, considering that Danist is still in a state of instability. Elea rubbed Danist's arm, so that her husband could get back to rest. Seeing the man was already aware of making elea feel very happy, and certainly hopefully this is a good start for Danist to be back as usual again.

★★★★★★★

A few days later.....

Danist's condition is getting better, even yesterday he was allowed to move to a regular treatment room. Previously Danist still complained of pain in his head, but all of it can be handled properly. Elea also does not come home at all and only sends her Asi to Friddie. Gienka lives in Aditya and Cahya's apartment, which makes Elea feel no more worried, because Cahya says that if yesterday Brianna came to ensure the condition of Gienka, Gienka, the boy was already in very good shape.

What about Ariel???

Ariel disappears again after Elea's second expulsion at the hospital. Ariel has not contacted anyone, her house has been empty for the past few days. Ariel needs time alone, like when she once made a terrible mistake with Elea and Danist. Ariel goes to get some peace with the positive, and Aditya snagat hopes this time Ariel does the same and comes back with full awareness.

Elea helps Danist to sit down, before bribing her for dinner. Elea was very happy, slowly her husband's pale face was back to look fresh. If the condition is getting better, of course Danist will soon be able to go home, although it still takes a long time to recover, considering Danist must rest completely and should not think about heavy things.

After making sure Danist was in a comfortable position, Elea took a bowl of porridge and began to feed it to Danist.

"I miss Friddie and Gienka so much, do you miss them too?? Don't you intend to send them here??? I'm not in the ICU now, am I??" Danist.

Elea smiled looking at him. "Well, I'll have Mama bring Friddie here, and I'll call Cahya so that tomorrow after picking up the kids from school, she can bring Gienka here"

"I want to recover quickly, go home and be able to play with them again...! Oh yeah??? It's been days here why Ariel never came???"

Elea's hand stopped and placed the bowl in her hand onto the table and looked at Danist in silence. "He's busy maybe, what does he care about you anyway? Dear, why do you always ask and worry about people like him, has he ever cared about you once???"

"El, however she is my sister, I should be able to take care of her, I want you to call her and ask her here if she's not busy!"

"Take your porridge and forget Ariel, she'll never come here, stop thinking about it, focus on your recovery, I'll never do it...!" Said Elea in annoyance and took another bowl at the table to feed Danist again.

After feeding Danist, Elea gives him a drink after which she helps Danist to lie down again. Elea says goodbye to Danist to go to the bathroom. Danist began to feel suspicious of Elea, whenever she asked Ariel, his wife always behaved strangely, looking annoyed and judes. Danist thought that it seemed like something had happened.

Danist glanced at the table beside her and found Elea's phone there. Conditions were quiet, because her mother was also out to buy food, Elea was also in the toilet. Rushing he tried to reach for Elea's phone, after getting it he tried to find Ariel's contact, but there was no Ariel's name there. Suddenly there was a video call from Cahya. Danist lifted him up and was surprised when Gienka's face was there.

Knowing that Danjst picked up the phone, Gienka immediately shouted "Papa Dan..........!!!!!"

"Hi beautiful boy....!!!"

"What are you doing??? Already eaten? Look I'm eating belsama Kyla and Ky also onty Cahya, I'm eating chicken goleng, Papa Dan has eaten??"

Danist smiled. "It's been... Umm Papa And miss Gie once, tomorrow Gie can come here with onty Cahya or uncle Adit???"

The camera shifted, Danist could not see Gienka's face but she could clearly hear that her daughter was talking to Cahya and asked if Cahya would take her to the hospital. Soon Gienma's face returned to the camera. "Yes.... Onty Cahya wants to line me up...!" Answer Gienka.

Danist's smile returned to her lips but then she remembered something. "Gie darling...! Tomorrow Gie comes with Papa Iel too huh? Since Papa Dan is also kangen with Papa Iel, can you please uncle Adit to tell Papa Iel to come here...???"

"Yes, later if Uncle Adit comes home, I'll give him a call to Papa Yel"

"Smart boy, continue eating, Papa Dan must rest now, and tomorrow we meet again okay???"

"OKAY...! I love you Papa Dan....!"

"I love you too my beautiful son ...!"

Danist then closes the video call from Gienka. His smile re-expands on his face, Danist hopes that tomorrow Ariel can really come to see him. Maybe with that he can make sure that Ariel is really in good shape. But Danist himself did not want to expect too high considering Ariel could also refuse his request, considering that their relationship was so bad.

"You're using my phone???" Elea asks who just came out of the bathroom, and finds Danist putting her phone on the table.

"Gienka just spoke to me on a video call, she screamed loudly when I picked her up, our daughter is so cute" Danist chuckled.

"Gienka???"

"Yes, he was on Cahya's cell phone, he was so happy when I asked him to come here tomorrow" Danist suddenly yawned and felt sleepy after eating and taking medicine.

Deftly, Elea enveloped Danist, and let her husband sleep. It did not take long, because Danist really went to sleep. And not long after her mother-in-law came to bring her food. Elea picks up her phone and checks her call list, she does find a video call from Cahya, meaning Danist isn't lying.

★★★★★★

The next day.....

Danist and Elea turned to the door of her hospital room, where there was a knock. A second later the door was pushed slowly from the outside. Danist's smile fell on her lips when she found out who was coming. Ekea immediately turned back the chair he was sitting in and stood up.

"Can I come in???" Ask Ariel.

Elea walked up to Ariel with a gaze full of anger. "No.....!! I told you never to come here again....! Why are you still pushy, go...!"

Ariel was silent but she chose to race her body to leave, maybe what Maysa said last night was just the desire of Gienka himself or maybe his daughter just wanted to talk.

"Wait Iel....!!"

Danist's shout made Ariel stop, Elea also immediately looked towards Danist.

"Let him in? I asked him to come here..!" Danist again.

"You asked for it?? How can you ask him to come here...!" Tanya Elea was astonished.

"Gienka...! Last night I asked Gienka to tell Ariel and tell her to come here, Iel...!" Danist's smile expanded again on her face.

Elea retreated her steps, and Ariel slowly walked into Danist's treatment room with her head slightly lowered.

"I'm glad you're okay, sit down" Danist smiled

"I'm sorry...! I've also put your life at risk...! You shouldn't have to save me...!" Ariel's words were interspersed with her stuffing.

"I've been too selfish, always saying bad things about you, I hate you, but even if you never do the same things I do to you, you do the opposite, you're so considerate of me, why are you doing that??? You should hate me...!!"

Danist's right hand rubbed Ariel's shoulder gently. He could clearly hear Ariel's sobs and cries, signifying that his sister was truly regretting her actions.

"How could I hate you??? You're Gienka's father besides you're my sister, don't you ever think that I hate you, I must love you so much???"

"Sister??? I'm so bad but why can you think of me like that...???"

Danist smiled. "Bad behavior can be changed, but the fact that you are my sister will never change until whenever Iel, never will...! You will forever be my sister...!"

"My mother has made a terrible mistake and has ruined your family's life, I'm sorry for that too"

"Then it's over, without you apologizing, me and Mama have forgiven all the mistakes of your Father or Mama, they're gone, they're gone, it is not good if we continue to discuss his mistake because it will only block his path there, never mind....!!"

Ariel wiped her tears and smiled at Danist. "Can I hold you???" Ask Ariel.

Danist nodded with a wide smile. "Of course...!"

Ariel stood up, bowed and hugged Danist in tears and thanked her and continued to apologize. Meanwhile, Elea was only speechless watching what was in front of her. Elea still could not figure out why her husband could so easily forgive Ariel and love Ariel even though there were so many mistakes made by the man. But Danist seems to have a heart so broad that she easily accepts the forgiveness of people who have hurt her so much, and Elea is convinced that not everyone can afford to do so.

Danist gently rubbed Ariel's back. He was so happy that what he wanted finally came true. Ariel came, and hugged him. Even Ariel apologized to him with regretful cries. Danist hopes this will be a good start to their relationship.

Ariel lifted her body and looked at Danist confidently and took back Danist's hand. "I promise, I will never repeat my mistake again, I want us to really be brothers, may I call you brother??"

"As for you, you can also just call my name..." Danist.

Ariel hugged Danist again, and for some reason her heart felt relieved at this moment. It was as if all the burdens that were on his shoulders had already come off. Ariel also did not stop being grateful in his heart because Danist was willing to forgive him, even Danist also received it well. He was really sorry for all his behavior on Danist all this time, even with ease the man also forgave all the mistakes of his late mother. This time Ariel will never again hurt Danist, both in words and actions, he has got a new family, a sister who is so kind and very understanding and loving.

It turns out that all the events were also witnessed by Aditya who was holding Gienka behind the door.

Aditya took Gienka down from his carrier and told the boy to get closer to his two Papas. Aditya asked Gienka to be quiet for a while while Ariel and Danist were talking together. And the boy complied.

"Papa....!!!" Gienka ran over, the call made Ariel, Elea and Danist simultaneously turn their heads.

Ariel stood up and immediately picked up Gienka then kissed her. These few days he had left his daughter to calm down without receiving a call from anyone and of course he missed her a lot.

"Where is Father Yel, why didn't he call me? Does Papa Yel not miss me???"

Ariel pinched Gienka's cheek in a fit of anxiety. "Pardon Papa Iel huh?? Papa is busy and of course Papa Iel misses this beautiful Gienka!"

Ariel then brought Gienka closer to Danist, grabbed the boy and bowed him so he could kiss Danist's cheek. Gienka starts chattering about her day and what she does with Kyra and Kyros in Aditya's apartment. Danist and Ariel could only smile listening to him.

"You just came with Gienka Dit???" Ask Elea.

Aditya. He came with Cahya and the twins just that the three of them were currently waiting in the car because it was impossible to bring the three boys here. And only Gienka took him to meet Danist.

Aditya also did not forget to ask about the development of Danist health in Elea. Not to forget Aditya asked Danist not to think about work and focus on his health until it was completely healed.

Ariel approached Aditya and invited his best friend to talk outside the room. And I don't know what he's talking about with Aditya.

After talking to Ariel, Aditya calls Gienka to take her home as she is waiting for Cahya and Kyra Kyros in the car. Gienka kissed Danist and took turns kissing Ariel and Elea.

"Drug Mama, Papa Iel, Papa Dan....!!! Gie went home to Uncle Adit first yes..!!"

Danist and Elea waved their hands at Gienka, while Ariel went out to escort Aditya out of Danist's treatment room.

Meanwhile, Ariel asks Elea for permission to feed Danist before she has to go out of town for work for the next few days. Although still upset with Ariel, Elea tries to hold her back because Danist herself has decided to accept Ariel and forgive all her mistakes, making Elea eventually have to accept it too.

Elea gave Ariel a Danist lunch, and the man slowly began to scoop up rice, vegetables and side dishes and then feed them to Danist. A happy smile as if it had not faded from Danist's face since earlier. Even he still did not expect if finally all his wait for Ariel had been realized.

★★★★★★★

2 Weeks later....

Danist was finally allowed to be taken home because his condition was getting better. Ariel, of course he has really changed himself well. Every day after the office he always went to the hospital to confirm Danist's condition and took care of him even though he only came a few minutes because he brought Gienka so it could not be too long in the hospital but he always comes regularly every day. It was done by Ariel to make amends for what he had done to Danist. Since then Ariel has really become a good person and has great respect for Danist.

Despite his troubles with Danist, Ariel has not forgotten his duty to be a good father to Gienka. It did well when Gienka was still a baby to this day. And when Ariel has made up with Danist, Ariel also begins to love and love Friddie, the son of Danist and Elea. There was no longer a barrier between Ariel and the Danist and Elea families, all became very good, even the people closest to them like Aditya and others also felt very moved by it.

In addition to Danist, of course, Ariel also improved relations with Mama Danist, where Ariel also had time to hate the woman because she thought Mama Danist was also part of the people who had been destroyed in the past, in general, but the fact is that Mama Danist is the real victim of a series of past events related to Ariel's late father. Mass stories are so complicated and stifling, but all ends well because all can forgive each other and assume that it is all part of a destiny that has been outlined by God. And it should also be taken on the bright side and on the bad side. Now Ariel and Danist and his family are united into a family that loves and respects each other. Even Ariel also hopeful had asked to be allowed to call Mama Danist with the call of Mama, and asked that Mama Danist also want to consider him as her son. Ariel desperately longs for the presence of a mother figure to be able to pour out her feelings. Mama Danist's heart was so vast, it made her unable to refuse Ariel's request. Mama Danist has also forgiven all her time with Ariel's father having also forgiven Ariel's previous mistakes, and it doesn't matter if Ariel calls her with Mama's Call.

****

Ariel brought Gienka home from Aditya's apartment in the afternoon, but she couldn't bear to see her daughter's happiness while playing with Kyra. And actually Gienka refused to go home but because it was late afternoon, Ariel would not want to force her to go home.

When she got to the front of the house, Elea was holding Friddie. Gienka got out of the car and ran to her sister and mother, and landed a kiss for them both.

"El, give Friddie to me, and bathe Gienka, where's brother???" Ariel asked as she took Friddie from Elea's sling.

"He's upstairs, you go, I'll take Gienka to the room"

Ariel nodded and took Friddie up the stairs. Ariel kept all her promises, she had also started to pay attention to Friddie, pouring out her affection for the baby just as she had poured out her affection for Gienka. Ariel also tries to get closer to Mama Danist, trying to start mending relationships with Elea's family.

Ariel smiling. "Forget about it, how? You really don't want to move into Dad's house???" At least for a while until your condition is really good..!"

"No Iel, you better be, it's your parents' house, it's got to be a lot of your memories there!"

"Oh yes, I contacted a lawyer yesterday to take care of the distribution of Dad's assets again, I want us both to share them. Yes, like the beginning before Dad wrote his will, 50:50, I know very well Dad did that for both of us, so I don't want to be selfish, maybe you can even have a bigger one than me"

Danist placed the book she was holding onto the table and turned to Ariel, looking at her sister with a soft look. "Why divide it again? It's Dad's will, take care of it all because I'm sure you can handle it, you're very smart and competent, take good care of Iel, don't disappoint Dad again, you're proud, you're, all of that must have been thought about carefully"

"No brother, you have rights there too, come work with me, I'd be happier if we both did"

Danist shook his head while smiling. "My life is now more than enough, my dream has been fulfilled, to have a home from my hard work, working in a place that I really like and my hard work has also made me get everything I want, I want to keep what is there because it is part of my life satisfaction, I think you're better able to run it all, your family business is so big, and your intelligence all along makes it all the more remarkable in people's eyes, it's all your rights and Gienka's, I want you to prepare Gienka well so that you can help you take care of the company later"

"No.....!!!! You have to take care of it with me...! The day after tomorrow, maybe the file is in order, you should sign it with me"

"YES....!!!! I'm not gonna sign anything because I did it yesterday, you're the only one who hasn't signed in Dad's will, no... I won't do anything, because I did it in front of Dad...! Don't force me, or I won't consider you a sister anymore, because you're forcing me to do what you want when I don't want to!" Danist then got up from the sofa and sat on his wheelchair and bailed to rest in the room. When Ariel wants to drive her, Danist refuses and asks Ariel to sit down because she is carrying Friddie. Danist chose to pretend to leave with a slightly irritated face, so that Ariel no longer forced her will.

★‡★‡★ Gifts Back Now ★†★‡★‡

"Heritage is also one of the reasons why your Papa Iel previously hated Papa so much... Yes, when you remember it was very funny Gie, your Papa Iel thought that Papa wanted to master the legacy of your Opa, Opa Andi, or the father of both of us..! It took a long time to convince it, but in the end the ending Papa Dan himself still did not want to accept all that...!" Danist looked at Gienka.

"Then???" Ask Gienka again.

"Papa Dan is very happy and very happy with Papa's work in the company of your uncle Aditya, Paoa did not want to go from there and asked that your Papa Iel alone take care of his company and the Opa Andi Company.. Ariel is forced to agree to Papa's wishes, though hard, and she has her own way of making amends...! every month some percent of the proceeds from the Company are put into your savings and Friddie as a form of responsibility Papa Iel you, until now it is also still ongoing...!"

"Papa Iel did that???" Tanya Gienka did not believe it.

"Yes, your Papa Iel did all that, he kept all his promises, you, Friddie and Geffie have equal rights, there is no difference between the three of you.... Ariel is very wise in deciding things, sometimes we all do not understand the way her mind is difficult to guess..." Danist clasped Gienka's fingers His gaze was full of tenderness, then continued the conversation.

"But Papa Dan can guarantee that your Papa Iel is an extraordinary person...! So stop judging, setio people have their own mass, there are baim and there are bad, good we remember, bad we forget because now he has become good..!"

Gienka. He had heard everything about his parents. The whole question has been answered and explained well by Mama Elea, her father Ariel and her Papa Danist. The story is related to each other.

"Yes Gie, come on, kid, forget your anger, it's your birthday, and your Papa Iel has everything ready, Mama hope you're not ruining all this... Come and apologize to your Papa Iel..." Elea said later while Gienka was silent and did not say anything or move from her seat. Gienka still looked confused, and there was still anger in her eyes.
